tgPTHB Couktt Auditors' Rei'out.
We publish in our columns this week the
report of the County Auditors, on tho Ft
nance of the County, which is, of course, a
matter of interest and importance to every
citizen and tax-payer. The indebtedness of
the county is a little over fifteen thousaud
dollars, a comparatively small sum, which
will be liquidated the present year without
any additional taxation. Tho exhibit is
certainly a most gratifying one, considering
that on the new Court House alono, over
$100,000 has been expended within two
years past.
Is Earnest. Hon. Henry L. Cake, re
presentative from tho lOtli Distsict, last
Monday, offered the following bill :
llcaolced, dc, That in lieu of the duties
heretofore imposed by law upon like de
scriptions of wrought scrap iron, there shall,
Iroru and after the passage of this act, bo
levied, collected and paid on all iron bars
over six feet long, for railroads or inclined
planes, made to pattern, reudy to lay down,
or other bars of iron, round, square, or flat,
over six feet long, imported from foreign
countries, notwithstanding it may be intro
duced as old scrap iron, the same duty that
is now levied, collectd and paid upon new
bars and iron of full length of the same
patterns.
The obvious necessity and justice of this
movement should ensuro the immediate
passage of this bill. It is stated, on good
authority, that at least eighty thousand tons
of this description of British iron will bo
imported into this country under the pre
sent laws before the snd of the next year
General Cuke deserves the thanks of the
whole country for his vigilant guardianship
of the cause of Home Labor.
The Iute Murder In Schuylkill
County Particular oftlieTruglc
Occurrence.
We take the following account of the
murder of Win. H. Littlehales, in Schuylkill
county, on Friday, 10th inst., from the Potts
ville Miners' Journal, of Saturday last :
In our last we were only able in conse
quence of tho Journal being on press when
tlio news of the murder of Sir. William II.
Littlehales was received here, to give a brief
account ot the attuir. since then we tiave
obtained a circumstantial account of it, as
tar as the facts ure known to the friends of
the deceased and to the authorities.
The murdered man was a son of Mr. Wil
liam Littlehales who resides in Coal street,
'.bis liorough. At the time of his death he
nad been for upwards of two years, Super
ntendent of the colliery of the Glen Carbon
Joal Company, located at Glen Carbon, Cass
Township, this County. Mr. Littlehales
noved with his family to Glen Carbon in
ho Winter of 1805, and fixed his residence
tear the colliery. The men of the colliery
rere paid monthly, usually on Saturday,
nd Mr. Littlehales was in the habit of coni
ng into Pottsville the day before a pay was
3 bo made, getting the money, and taking
; out. During the last few months however,
ince the perpetration of so many highway
jbbcrics in the County, he generally took
loncy out in the cars, not when he drove
ut. This fact it is to be presumed, was
nknowu to his assassins, and they uudoubt
lly supposed that on the day they murder
1 him, he had the monthly pay for the
illiery with him.
Mr. Littlehales left home on Fiiday morn
g of lust week, about 0 o'clock, and drove
Pottsville in a sulky. Ho transuded
me business in town, during which he said
at he would not take the pay (about 3,
0) out with him that day, but would como
on Suturday morning in tho cars, and
ke the money out in that w ay. He started
out 1 o'clock in the afternoon, in bis sulky,
return home, having lu his possession a
olver, a silver watch, very little money,
d some articles that he had purchased in
ttsville, for the colliery and for his family,
i drovo through Miiiersvillo and Coul
ttle, on the main road to Glen Carbon,
e exact time at which he was uttacked, is
: known, but it is supposed to have been
ut 2 o'clock. He bad reached a secluded
t of the road, about half a milo from his
idence, when he was fired upon by several
a who were conceuled as is supposed, at
t side of the road among the bushes which
thick at that point. One bullet thought
lave been the first which struck him, and
a the size of the wound, to have been
1 from a carbine, entered one side of his
y, severed the aorta, and putsed out at
. other side. This wound must have
led speedy death, and he must have fal
4lu)ot immediately from his vehicle into
road. There was another wound inflicted
i smaller ball, in his hip. lioili of his
were shot out. This shut it is thought
he surgeons who examined the body,
fired after death, and that the weapon
had been held close to the head as
1 was considerable powder in the ido
face.
ter Mr. Littlehales fell on the road, his
i lan with the sulky iuto Thomastown,
was caught there. The assassins searched
body ot the murdered man, and took
it tho revolver and watch of which we
spoken. The revolver is Cooper's
t, and is numbered 8,970. The cum
f the watch is 18,679, and the maker is
am Reed, Liverpool, Ecglaud.
oat t o'clock, or half an hour after the
ised hour of the murder, Dr. J. C. Me
tros of New Castle, who was on bis
m horseback, to the residence of Mr.
uales to atteud Mr. Littlehales' little
e vi W., who bad one of hit legs ampu
below the knee two weeks before, is
(deuce of injuries sustained by bslng
'itttij railroad cart,-reached tka spot.
The body was lying on the north aid ot lbs
rnad.- 'l ha Doctor looked at without recog
nising It, and without dismounting rode to
urennan s tavern to give Information ot tbe
fact that a dene body was Wing in the road,
and to obtain assistance to have It removed.
Several men returned with the Doctor to the
spot, and recognized the body as that of
Sir. Littlehales. ,
The hod was then removed to tha lata
residence ot tbe murdered roan, and in the
evening about 8 o'clock an inquest was held
uy aepuiy -coroner Jseugarilt or .Minersviile,
and a pott mortem examination made by Dr.
McWilliams and Dr. Kobbins of Minersviile.
Nothing beyond tho facts we state, were
elicited ry tlie Jury, and the perpetrators or
mis most bloody crime remain undiscovered.
J ho scene at the bouse or Mr. Littlehales
on tho evening of that fatal day, was most
distressing. On ont bed lay the mutilated
child, on another Mrs. Littlehales in a hvs
tcrical condition from the terrible shock of
the murder, and on a third the disfigured
corpse of the murdered husband and lather
It was a sight to touch the hardest nature,
and to bring tears to eyes albeit unused to
the lueltinir mood.
The deceased leaves a wife and three chil
dren. Ha was born at East Mines, tins
Counlv. in Aueust. 1830. and was at the
time of his death in the 81st year of his age.
He had spent nearly his entire life in this
Countv.
The funeral took pi ace on Sunday last
from Mr. Littlehales' lato residence, Glen
Carbon. The remains were brought to
Pottsville for interment in Mount Laurel
Cemetery. They were attended to the grave
by Authracite Lodge, A. Y. M., and Mineral
Lodge, I. O. of O. i, of St. Clair, of which
ho was a member, and by a large concourse
of friends and relatives. The religious ser
vices were conducted by tho Rev. Mr. Allen
of Minersviile, and the Masonic by District
Deputy-Grand Master C. Little.
The CSeucrnl llunltrii.pt Law.
One of the acts of the Congress which
closed on the Fourth of March, was the pat
sage of a general bankrupt law. This mea
sure has been agitated fur several years past,
but has always failed to secure sufficient
support until this winter. It became a law
during the closing hours of Congress.
J. lie new law is intended lor the relief or
honest debtors. Under its provisions, any
person whose debts exceed the sura of three
hundred dollars, may become a voluntary
bankrupt, and be relieved from tho claims
of creditors by tbo delivery for distribution
of nil his assets.
Tbe proceedings for the discharge of
bankrupts by this law art p aced under the
supervision of the United States Circuit
Courts, with a subordinate supervisory officer
to be appointed in each Congressional Dis
trict to be appointed by the Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court to be called a Register.
To the Register tbe purty desiring to avail
himself of the relief of the bankrupt law
makes application, and by the creditors an
assignee is appointed into whose hands the
bankrupt turns all his property lor distribu
tion. The bankrupt can reserve to himself
household and kitchen furniture and such
other articles as he may choose, not exceed
ing five hundred dollars, also the weariug
apparel of himself and family, and military
equipments if he had any, and such other
property as may be exempted from attach
ment and seizure under the laws of Iub State.
Distribution of the assets of the bankrupt
is made iu the following order : oil costs of
tho proceedings in bankruptcy; all debts
due the United States; all debts due the
State ; wages due to any employee of the
bankrupt for a period not exceeding six
months immediately preceding the com
mencement of proceedings in bankruptcy,
and to an amount not exceeding $50,000.
The balance to other croditors according to
the amount of their claims, and without
preference on account of date or any other
cause.
The bankrupt then receives from the Court
a certificate ot discharge and can commence
the world anew in business relations without
fear of old and unsatisfied judgements. No
bankrupt can avail himself a second time of
the provisions of the law, unless his assets
will reach seventy per cent, of his debts. All
debtors whose claims have been credited by
failure in a fiduciary capacity are precluded
from relief under this act.
The law is only intended for the relief of
honest debtors. Hence, in order to avail
himself of its benefits, the party must make
a fair, full and bona fde delivery to the as
signee for the benefit of his creditors, of all
liu effects, otherwiso he is debarred from
the benefit of the law, and made liable to
heavy penalties beside. All fraudulent pro
ceedings designed to defraud creditors, and
all acts intended to prefer or secure one
creditor at the expense of any other, will not
entitle debtors to the relief extended by tbe
law, but are positively forbidden.
The law is of course very lengthy, and
embraces many details, but the above are
its leading provisions. It will be well for
the public to become fumiliar with and re
member them, for they closely concern every
business man.
